U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead Saturday morning in Texas.

According to reports, Scalia arrived at a luxury resort Friday and attended a private party there. When he didn’t show up to a breakfast Saturday morning before a hunting trip, a resort employee found Scalia’s body in his room. He died in his sleep.

“He was an extraordinary individual and jurist, admired and treasured by his colleagues. His passing is a great loss to the Court and the country he so loyally served,” Chief Justice John Roberts said in a statement.

Scalia was appointed to the Supreme Court by Ronald Reagan in 1986 and served for almost 30 years. He was known for his influence on abortion rights.

Justice Scalia was an American hero. We owe it to him, & the Nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement.
